Green Mortgage Services We Offer
We offer a comprehensive range of services to help you secure the right green mortgage for your eco-friendly property.
Consultation and Eligibility Assessment
Our experts evaluate your property’s energy efficiency to determine your eligibility for a green mortgage. We assess EPC ratings and guide you on improvements that could qualify you for better mortgage rates. Around 66% of UK homes currently fall below the EPC threshold required for green mortgages, so we ensure you understand how to improve your property’s rating.
Mortgage Application Assistance
Navigating the mortgage process can be complex. Our team works with lenders offering green mortgage products, including major players like Barclays and Nationwide. We assist with the paperwork, ensuring all necessary documentation, including EPC certificates, is accurately submitted.
Remortgaging for Green Home Improvements
If you’re planning to retrofit your home with energy-efficient improvements such as solar panels or better insulation, we provide remortgaging solutions. In some cases, upgrading your home’s energy efficiency can result in an interest rate reduction of 0.1-0.2%, helping you save over the lifetime of your mortgage.
How to Increase Your Property’s Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency upgrades can significantly improve your EPC rating, making you eligible for a green mortgage.
Installing Renewable Energy Solutions
Adding renewable energy features like solar panels or heat pumps can dramatically improve your EPC rating. Solar panels, for instance, can reduce your energy bills by £200-£300 per year. Additionally, homes with solar panels tend to have higher resale values.
Upgrading Insulation and Windows
Insulation and energy-efficient windows are among the top improvements to increase a home’s energy efficiency. Well-insulated homes can save up to 25% on heating costs, making it a worthwhile investment for both immediate savings and long-term property value.
